    Why have you chosen Soko Gakuen?

    Your (School's) curriculum is comprehensive.  I'm interested in a formal and professional instruction to the Japanese language. Educational level of instructors is also impressive (E. Tan, 2007).

    Sounds like a good accelerated program, where I can learn to speak and write.  Also I need a structural environment to learn (N. Pettry, 2007).

    I read positive reviews of the classes that were posted on the Internet.  Also the classes matched well with my work schedule (R. Boone, 2007).

    It appears to be a very good long term method to thoroughly and effectively learn Japanese language (verbally & written) (M. Lane, 2007).

    It (School) has good reviews and I like that there are standardized exams (R. Lao, 2007).

    Because the school seemed to have a professional academic record (K. Ruiz, 2007).

    Inexpensive, positive reviews on Yelp.com, and location (D. Anderson, 2007).

    For the low cost and great curriculum (J. Sutton, 2007).

    Research said it was best school (S. Nakamura, 2007).

    Reasonable price and credibility (P. Ratan, 2007).

    I heard it's a great school from a friend. Even though it's kind of far from where I live, I think it's worth it (J. Sarkany, 2006).

    Because it seems like a reputable place that specializes in teaching Japanese to all skill levels (C. Head, 2006).

    ... a well-liked and established school that offers extremely reasonably priced classes (M. Kabala, 2006).

    Teachers are energetic and knowledgeable about Japanese culture and society (K. Watkins, 2006).

    Soko Gakuen had a good price and my Saturdays are free; it also seemed like a smaller, more one on one type school where I could be comfortable (C. Schutte, 2005).

    Seemed geared toward people who want to learn Japanese proficiently over a reasonable time frame rather than a short sprint (J. Gates, 2005).

    It seemed like a good school, especially with the resources devoted to teaching in terms of number of courses and teachers (A. Chander, 2005).

    A friend of mine said this was a great school and she learned very well.  My grandfather also said this was a good school (J. Yamasaki, 2005).

    My sister told me that her friends highly recommended Soko Gakuen if she wanted to learn Japanese correctly (H. Lee, 2005).

    After some research, I realized it was the best learning environment for me and was endorsed by a friend (V. James, 2005).

    The classes offered seemed the most varied, affordable, and flexible--many different times and days (E. Suzuki, 2005).

    It seems very credited and professional.  The location and wide range of classes are convenient (B. Wishnia, 2005).

    Heard good recommendations from others who have attended.  I like the small classroom setting (C. Drum, 2005).

    I found the school on the Internet and read recommendations for it.  The extremely low price of courses was also attractive (L. Meier, 2004).

    It was cheap, easy to get to, and at the convenient times. It is more relaxed than a city college or state college course (B. Huey, 2004).

    It offered an environment that individual needs would be paid attention to. A small classroom is always better (A. Gomez, 2004).
